First big storm of the season

 Love that our playdates are right next door! We got a good 8inches to a foot of snow! Thank God I didn't have to work last night!



 Burried alive
 What a beauty!
 silly girls
 conner doing his own thing!

 Sledding in the backyard! I love that we can do this! So much fun and great memories!


Santa

 We went to the Santa party at Tim's work. I think this is the 5th year we have gone. The kids are so easy at this age!  They loved hanging out with a bunch of people that we usually only see once a year! Below are the kids we  two of  Tim's partner's kids! They are cuties!


 Kaitlyn and her daddy going for a walk at the start of a snow storm! After the party, we took off to check out the lights which weren't lit yet so we went out for a late lunch and just hung out together! What a perfect day!

Christmas card

This is quite funny to me. I did not do Christmas cards last year and this year I hadn't planned on it but Tim wanted some for work and such. I quickly got online and made some at CVS and it would be ready the next day. I made two separate cards.  The one above is for Tim's work friends!!! Who knew there was a back side???? Obviously I didn't! Looks like the Grogan family noticed! So off I went to get something to tape over! It actually turned out pretty cute!  I make myself laugh!!

Craft time

I love this silhouette! I used it in a craft! The craft didn't turn out so hot but I love this pic!

Winnikenni

 So another photo shoot! We took off up to Winnikenni after our session at home. The kids were so good to let me mess with them after a long day at school!
 " I pick you up and drop you down!"

"Winter" concert

 The third and second graders had their winter concert! It was really cute! Kaitlyn was in her element and enjoyed every bit of it!


Gracie!!

10 weeks

Our little peanuts are 10 weeks here! Please continue to pray for these little blessings and also for S's health and energy! So excited

lookeeee

So I didn't like the old fabric plus it was filthy! So I recovered it. It might be a bit much! K says she doesn't like the pattern but   it is ok! I am proud that I didn't ruin it! Don't look too close though!

goodbye til next time

 S's family is large. 6 kids which is right up Kaitlyn's alley! She loves kids! She did not want to come home. She asked if she could stay there until I came back again for another appointment! She was in heaven! She loved the camp out in the bonus room!


 Thanks guys for letting us join your family for a few days! It was great! Looking forward to doing it again soon!

9 weeks

Kaitlyn and I traveled to Texas to visit Stephanie's family but also to see our two latest additions! They are growing strong in Stephanies womb! As I have explained before.....they took my egg, tim's sperm and grew the babies and then transferred them into S's womb! Pretty amazing! They both stuck and we are over joyed!! In this picture they are 9 weeks old! God is good and we are truly blessed beyond comprehension!

being silly

 The two boys of the family can easily entertain me! Both of them are very cute!
 bubble gum was a huge hit as the kids practiced their bubble making!
 I taught them how to do Mr. Chinagins
 Then the girls wanted facial hair so I helped in that category but then they added their own eyebrows.
 And this is how they went out to dinner! They were proud! So funny!

And we are off......

 I had the privilege of taking a trip with my little girl! Just the two of us which was fun! We flew out to Texas to meet up with our surrogate, Stephanie, and her family! They are so kind and let us stay at her house which is always fun!

 Our rental was a Jetta! YAY! Fun for me! Kaitlyn and I stopped for lunch on the way to Stephanie's house. We had a whataburger! Yum yum!
